I can't spell, I can't read, I can't see very well, and my dog just went blind. So had someone else read all the posts about your simply job
on how you wired a garage with UF cable. Now I laughing so hard, that my dog started barking. L.O.L., L.O.L., L.O.L.

no those things are ugly, and require special covers. Bell boxes are much more standard.

They're floating it.......... Truck is long gone.
Who in their right mid would even contemplate doing a garage slab with an on-site mixer?!? That would take hours. Call a truck and get it dumped in place inside of an hour.
A mixer..............

I own a mixer trailer and a pumper on a steel pallet, reason being sometimes you it's too costly or ineffective to get a pump truck in the narrow mountain service roads or what not out here in the high sierra mountains of California.

You know I actually put "yours" at first and then quickly, without giving to much thought to it put "your's" instead. Yet another example of how I should have gone with the gut instinct as it's usually right.
